The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 262 Family Field
In fact, he also wanted to buy some land, count it as the family land of the clan, and provide some pens, ink, paper and inkstones for the children of the clan who wanted to go to school.

According to the family's production in the past two years, if one mu of land is sold, it can be sold for four or five taels of silver!Ten mu is 50 taels, which is a lot of money. Besides, after harvesting rice or wheat, you can also grow some beans to raise the land.

"What? Are you really willing to build an ancestral hall?" Uncle Gu was very excited about this. In fact, Gu's ancestral hall should have been built long ago, but the money was not enough, so he kept procrastinating. Now Gu Chengyu asked, why? Not exciting?
"Why didn't I hear you?" Father Gu felt it was very sudden, after all, Gu Chengyu hadn't mentioned it to his family before.

"Speaking of building an archway, I just remembered that the ancestral hall is too dilapidated!"

"You can think of this, uncle is very happy. You are now a scholar, and the ancestral hall is really not decent if it is not repaired. Let's do it! You don't need to pay it alone. I will ask the big guys and let everyone share some money. After all, the ancestral hall belongs to everyone!"

Gu Chengyu has this kind of heart, and Uncle Gu is very happy. When the time comes when the money is not enough, he will ask Xiaobao to make up for it.

"Then uncle can figure it out! I also plan to add ten acres of clan land to the clan without paying taxes. I have tax-free acres in my name, and I will put them in my name. The output of these fields is sold for silver. Send the children of the clan to school."

What Gu Chengyu said before could still make Uncle Gu excited, but what he said now made Uncle Gu stand up happily.

"Okay, Xiaobao has a heart, and now he can lead the clan. If you really make up your mind, I will go to the clan and tell everyone, so that everyone can follow suit!" Uncle Gu has already I began to think about the bright future of the Gu family, and Gu Chengyu would definitely lead the Gu family to glory.

Uncle Gu couldn't sit still when he got the good news, "I'll go to the clan to talk about it first, and tell everyone about the clan field. It depends on everyone's opinions on what kind of regulations the plaque and archway are."

Gu Chengyu was a little helpless, he was just a scholar, he really didn't think it was necessary.However, he still couldn't bear to look at Gu Lao and the Lu family as a disappointment. Such achievements are generally reserved for future generations to look up to, and it is the glory of the Gu family.

After Uncle Gu finished speaking, he left in a hurry. He wanted to build the ancestral hall, and there were still many things to do next!
"Little Treasure! Why did you think about the family land? You can only have [-] acres of tax-free land under your name. This time, you will get [-] acres of land. You have to pay for the [-] acres of land yourself!" Mrs. Lu thought about it. She was a little bit reluctant, the clan had never done her family any favors, and those people hadn't been close to them before.

"What do you know? Xiaobao is right to do this. These fields are not for the clan, but for those children who can't afford to read." Father Gu only thinks that women have long hair and short knowledge.

"In our Gu family, there are only scholars in the elder brother's family, our family and the third uncle's family. At present, only Xiaobao has been admitted as a scholar. After that, he will not even have a helper. If he is lucky enough to become an official, which one in the family will be successful? , can't we also support each other? Didn't Xiaobao say it? This is called a single tree!"

Papa Gu still remembered what Xiaobao said to him a few years ago, and after thinking about it later, he thought it was absolutely right!
"Our Little Treasure still needs to rely on others? It would be great if they don't hold him back." Mrs. Lu curled her lips. What can the few in the clan do?Those kids who chase chickens and dogs all day long are in a bad shape.

Lu's words successfully made Gu Wan laugh. In her mother's eyes, Xiao Bao is the most intelligent and filial son in the world.

Gu Chengyu was also dumbfounded by Lu's natural tone of voice, it's really his own good for the baby.

"Father is right, besides, our family doesn't rely on my tax-free land to live, does it? It can be regarded as doing our best for the clan. Besides, our family's tax-free land has [-] acres! At that time, everyone in the clan may want to Put Tian under the name of our family, if you don’t give it to them, they will definitely arrange it everywhere.”

Gu Chengyu has also considered this matter, but now that he has few tax-free lands, which ones should he hang up with?Clan Tian can not only seal their mouths, but also do good deeds for the clan, which is the best of both worlds.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu had no choice but to mutter, feeling that it was cheap for the clan.

"I'm going to pay my respects to Mrs. Xie Wen tomorrow, and besides, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. This time, I'm going to bring the Mid-Autumn Festival with me."

"By the way, our family holds a banquet, so I don't know if Big Brother Sun can do it?" Gu Chengyu thought of Sun Xian. Sun Xian is also a scholar now, and besides, he will be from his own family in the future. It seems that a gift must be prepared. .And Ye Zhiqiu, we are all classmates, so congratulations still have to be given.

"Oh! I've discussed this matter with your father. No matter whether Brother Xian organizes a banquet or not, our family's gifts must not be less. His family's life is tight, and our family has to make up for it a little bit, Wan'er It's also a good fortune, this is a scholar, if in three years' time she can be elected, and Wan'er gets married, it will be really beautiful."

Lu's family is still satisfied with this son-in-law. Although Sun Xian's family is poor, but seeing that he has a good character and ability, there is nothing to say about Xiaobao's picky eyes.

"Tomorrow I went to my master's house. When you come back, bring your eldest brother Sun and let him come and play." Mrs. Lu knew that unmarried men and women were thin-skinned, so if they didn't call, Sun Xian was too embarrassed to come to the door all the time.

"Understood! If there is a banquet, then I have to invite my wife and classmates. Daddy, what do you think of the eighteenth day?" I will not be reluctant to part with this silver.

"Just that day! You call a follower to your aunt's house to inform her, and let her come to drink on the eighteenth day." Gu Laodi thought of Gu Xiu, and thought it was better to speak in advance, but not at that time There's nothing else I can't get away from.

"Then the date has been set, and I'll go write posts for my wife and classmates." Tomorrow morning, Gu Chengyu planned to write the post as he was going to town early in the morning.

After Gu Chengyu left, Mrs. Lu took a look at Father Gu, "Your eldest sister came here once, and we couldn't even see her black eyes. Let her take a look this time. Our family has a scholar! Her family is A tofu seller, what's your air?"

Father Gu was very helpless about this, Lu Shi and his eldest sister had always been at odds, and they didn't like each other, and they would have a quarrel when they got together.

"Isn't this all from the past? How many times in the past few years has she come here without a smile on her face? Why are you still talking about the past?"

"Isn't it because our family is getting better? When our family was poor before, do you think she would come? These few times, when did she not come to our house to get something?"

When Lu said this, she was angry. Gu Xiu was a shallow-sighted person who liked to pretend, so when she left, she didn't take the food and ingredients from home?That thick-skinned one was just about to grab it. He used to look down on people all day long, and in the past two years he even sang bitter dramas just to take advantage.

"Then what can I do? If I don't give it to her, she will sing a big show, which makes my head hurt!"
